Before you go out trick or treating with the family or go out to you Halloween parties make sure you set you lineups with some fire. We’ve got a nice 7 game slate but there’s a bunch of blowout risk in games especially with injury news of the stars on some of the these teams. Remember to follow me on twitter @dfs_Joey for any updates on injury’s.

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks – Oct 31st

Point Guard

Top Tier

Steph Curry 9.9k: He gets a great matchup against the Pelicans. I want to wait until I hear if Anthony Davis is playing before I play Curry in cash. This game could get ugly fast if Davis isn’t playing. If he is playing this game should stay competitive and Curry should easily smash. GPP Pivot: Jamal Murray

Middle Tier

Derrick Rose 5.5k: His price keeps rising and for good reason. Now that we have the news that Jeff Teague and Jimmy Butler are out. Rose is becoming a nice option, the matchup isn’t the best but we just have to look at who is playing Guard for the Timberwolves and realize Rose will have to do a lot. Sure, Wiggins should be back tonight but that won’t take away from the fact the Rose needs to have one of his best games of the season for this game to stay competitive.

Cheap Tier

Elie Okobo 3.5k: With Isiah Cannon OUT we will get Okobo playing big minutes again. He was the first to come in after the Cannon injury and received 30 minutes and 31.5 fantasy points. We could see another huge minutes game. I wouldn’t expect another 30 plus point game but the value here is unquestioned especially in a great matchup against SA. SA just has no one to play defense against the opposing PG and is a team I will target a ton with PGs.

Tyus Jones 3.5k: Injury news will decide which cheap PG I like better but for now it’s Jones because we have the news that Jeff Teague and Jimmy Butler are out. We might be able to play both these guys in cash then have all the salary in the world to pay up else where. If Jones is able to play big minutes he’ll have a great PPM game and this game could get ugly giving him all the garbage time points. He’s perfect for cash and GPP.

Shoot Guard

Top Tier

DeMar Derozan 9.7k: He has the best matchup on the slate but his price seems like it’s getting a little high and there is some blowout risk especially if Booker is inactive. If Booker is inactive it doesn’t change the matchup as much it just means the Suns will score more points and keep it closer. Derozen has been having his best season so far it looks like Pop has made him a more complete player.

Middle Tier

Wesley Matthews 4.9k: There’s not much in the middle tier I like for SG in cash games. Matthews is getting huge minutes and in the second highest O/U on the slate they will be relying on his scoring a ton to help reach that high total. The matchup isn’t top-tier but the minutes and scoring will make him an excellent play today.

Cheap Tier

Josh Hart 4.5k: He played in 2 tough matchups in a row so his points have dropped but now he has a great matchup vs the Mavs in one of my favorite games on the slate. He’s still receiving high 20 low 30s minutes a game which in a good matchup like today will help him easily reach cash value. Everyone is back from suspension but I still think he is a great play at this price he just seems too cheap to me.

OAKLAND, CA – MAY 08: Anthony Davis #23 of the New Orleans Pelicans goes up for a shot on Kevin Durant #35 of the Golden State Warriors during Game Five of the Western Conference Semifinals of the 2018 NBA Playoffs at ORACLE Arena on May 8, 2018 in Oakland, California.

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks – Oct 31st

Small Forward

Top Tier

Lebron James 12.4k: While I don’t really like Lebron that much and it seems like I’m chasing points I think he is one of the safest raw point players on the slate and at SF where I can’t trust Kevin Durant if Anthony Davis happens to sit and it turns into a blowout. Lebron will have an easy miss match if they have to put Matthews on him.

More from FanSided

Middle Tier

Andrew Wiggins 6.4k: I know it’s his first game back from injury but Thibs will need him to play big minutes tonight if they want to stay close. Karl-Anthony Towns will have a tough time getting things going against Rudy Gobert and hasn’t done much all season. So Rose and Wiggins should be the main scorers tonight. GPP Pivot: Harrison Barnes, Rudy Gay

Cheap Tier

GPP Pivot: Royce O’Neale

Power Forward

We will know the news of Anthony Davis in the morning shoot around.. This new NBA is nice will know news.

Top Tier

Anthony Davis 12.8k: I like he’s an amazing play if he’s able to go and will easily have the top points on the slate and I’d rather play him then James. Last year he smashed this matchup and I would expect the same this year if he’s able to play.

Middle Tier

Taj Gibson 5.4k: I’ve mention a bunch of Wolves so far but they are all cheap with Butler and Teague out. They will need all these guys to step up for them tonight but in a slow pace game b careful how many of these guys you fit in one lineup.

Cheap Tier

Josh Jackson 3.7k: I really hate to do this as my cheap option but I just fell like the break out for him is coming soon. Last year when Booker was out he was one of the elite DFS plays, but this year he really hasn’t done anything so far this season. He’s mainly a GPP play for my because my favorite value on the slate is coming from the guards but in a game where Cannon and Booker will be out they will need him to step up big time.

DENVER, CO – SEPTEMBER 24: Nikola Jokic #15 of the Denver Nuggets poses for a portrait during the Denver Nuggets Media Day at the Pepsi Center on September 24, 2018 in Denver, Colorado.

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks – Oct 31st

Center

Top Tier

Nikola Jokic 10.2k: Jokic is in an absolute smash spot here against Chicago. He will be matched up against Wendell Carter which shouldn’t be much of an issue for him. Dedmon was able to put up big numbers against the Bulls as a back up. I’ve got no issue paying up for him in cash games where I normally don’t like to do. GPP Pivot: Deandre Jordan

Middle Tier

Enes Kanter 7.1k: The Pacers have allowed the 3rd most points in the paint in the league and that’s great for a guy that needs that 20+ point game to hit great value. The rebounds we don’t have to worry about he’s gotten double figure rebounds in all but 1 game this year giving him a great floor for cash games.

Cheap Tier

Injuries usually open up value at the center position but there is currently no center in the cheap tier I’m looking at today in cash unless we receive news of an unexpected late scratch.
